Windows 10 not updating due to low recovery disk space

Windows 10 not updating due to low recovery disk space

Windows 10 Update Assistant has recently been trying to update my HP Envy laptop to a more recent version of Windows 10, but the update always fails because there is very little space left in my computer's recovery drive. I have never saved anything in it, and all that is there is the essential recovery data and the partial Windows 10 update download. The recovery drive has a total of 28.8 GB. I tried the clear disk space feature, but there were 0 bytes that it could delete, so it didn't accomplish anything. I have tried to download and install it several times, with no other results. Has anyone else had this problem who can help me out? I'm not seeing an option to download it to another drive. Thanks in advance!

Installation and Upgrade

Updating - Free up disk space (windows.old etc)Hi there
To Windows updaters (those who've upgraded rather than done a "Clean install").
This is also especially good if you are using smaller capacity SSD's for your installation or even VM's where you don't want to use too much disk space...
